Six persons, including a tech tycoon and the chairman of Morgan Stanley International, are being sought after by specialist divers off the coast of Sicily. A small tornado overturned a luxury yacht, resulting in the discovery of one man dead.
A waterspout struck the opulent vessel Bayesian as it was moored near the Porticello resort.
In an effort to find six missing persons, divers on Tuesday dove to the wreck of a yacht off the coast of Sicily, approximately 50 meters (164 feet) below the surface of the water.
While 15 people who had been aboard were rescued, one man was found dead. The other people on the vessel have not yet been located.
Among those feared dead were the chairman of London-based Morgan Stanley International, Jonathan Bloomer, and his wife, as well as British-Irish tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch and his daughter.
Lynch, a celebrated technology sector entrepreneur and investor, is sometimes referred to as a British answer to Bill Gates.
Chris Morvillo, a lawyer at Clifford Chance who represented Lynch in a US trial, was also among the missing, along with his wife.
Lynch was acquitted on all charges in a San Francisco court in early June, having been accused of an $11 billion fraud when his software firm Autonomy was sold to US tech giant Hewlett-Packard. Morvillo was Lynch’s defense attorney in the case.
It is understood that Lynch had invited friends to stay aboard the yacht to celebrate his legal victory, at which Bloomer was a defense witness.
In an uncanny coincidence, Lynch’s co-defendant in the trial Steve Chamberlain died after he was hit by a car while out running on Saturday.
